Creator's Key Takeaways

freestyle dining is wonderful in that you don't have to have the same time every day for your dining

the service was really lacking the weight staff did did not seem very friendly and they're very disorganized

I have never had any trouble at all with the drinking water on the ship

I would specifically avoid the Interiors in the AFT as they are directly above the Bliss lounge

βœ“Make specialty dining reservations in advance and reconfirm on embarkation day
βœ“Book excursions later in the day if not using NCL excursions to avoid tendering stress
